This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Tibet View From Xegar, Tibet, 1995 - This view was taken from on top of the mountain above Xegar (pronounced Si-gar). The ruins of the original monastery follow the ridge to the top. Xegar is a spectacular sight, as is the view from the top above the town. This town is on the road between Lhasa and Mount Everest's Rongbuk Base Camp.
